set_timeout

Set the timeout for all tests in a test case.

A test that lasts longer than the timeout (in seconds) will be killed and thus fail with an error.

If not set, the default timeout is one assigned at compile time. If the environment variable CK_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT is defined and no timeout is set, the value in the environment variable is used.

If Check is compile without fork() support this call is ignored, as timeouts are not possible.

Parameters:

timeout

to use, in seconds. If the value contains a decimal portion, but no high resolution timer is available, the value is rounded up to the nearest second.
